IMPORTANT FORMULAS : PIPES AND CISTERN

Inlet:
A pipe connected with a tank or a cistern or a reservoir, that fills it, is known as an inlet.

Outlet:
A pipe connected with a tank or cistern or reservoir, emptying it, is known as an outlet.
If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours, then:
part filled in 1 hour = 1/x
If a pipe can empty a tank in y hours, then:
part emptied in 1 hour = 1/y
If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours (where y > x), then on opening both the pipes, then
the net part filled in 1 hour = (1/x - 1/y)
If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours (where x > y), then on opening both the pipes, then
the net part emptied in 1 hour = (1/y - 1/x)

TIME AND DISTANCE : IMPORTANT FORMULAS

Speed, Time and Distance:
Speed = Distance/Time
Time = Distance/ speed
Distance = (Speed x Time)

km/hr to m/sec conversion:
x km/hr = x X (5/18) m/sec.

m/sec to km/hr conversion:
x m/sec = x X (18/5) km/hr.

If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a : b, then the ratio of the
the times taken by then to cover the same distance is 1/a : 1/b or b : a.

Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x km/hr and an equal distance at y km/hr. Then,
the average speed during the whole journey is: [2xy/(x + y)] km/hr.

TIME AND WORK: IMPORTANT FORMULAS

Work from Days:
If A can do a piece of work in n days, then A's 1 day's work =1/n

Days from Work:
If A's 1 day's work =1/n,then A can finish the work in n days.

Ratio:
If A is thrice as good a workman as B, then:

Ratio of work done by A and B = 3 : 1.

Ratio of times taken by A and B to finish a work = 1 : 3.
